Ingredients:
Here’s a list of what you’ll need to make these delectable Homemade Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks:
| DOUGH | TOPPING |
|---|---|
| – 1 1/8 teaspoons active dry yeast | – 1 1/2 Tablespoons salted butter |
| – 1 teaspoon granulated sugar | – 2 cloves garlic, minced |
| – 3/4 cup warm water | – 1/3 cup freshly grated parmesan |
| – 1 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil | cheese |
| – 3/4 teaspoon salt | – 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella |
| – 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar | cheese |
| – 1 1/2 – 2 cups bread flour, or | |
| all-purpose flour |
Instructions:
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine 1/2 cup of warm water with the sugar and yeast. Stir to combine and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1/4 cup of warm water, olive oil, salt, and vinegar to the mixture.
- Begin mixing on medium-low speed and gradually add the flour. Knead for a few minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. It should be slightly sticky, but not so sticky that it sticks to your clean fingertip. Normally, 1 1/2 cups of flour should do the trick.
- Cover the bowl with a dry towel and allow the dough to rest in a warm place for 1 hour.
Preparing for Baking
- Preheat your oven to 475 degrees F with a pizza stone inside or an upside-down cookie sheet inside.
- Gently punch the dough down.
- Place a large piece of parchment paper on your counter.
- Use your hands (or a rolling pin, but it’s easier with your hands) to spread the dough into a rectangle about 1/3 inch thick.
Adding the Topping
- Mix the melted butter and minced garlic in a small bowl, then spread the mixture evenly over the dough, all the way to the edges.
- Top the dough with a generous portion of freshly grated parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses.
Baking to Perfection
- Transfer the dough (still on the parchment paper) onto the hot pizza stone in the oven.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes or until the breadsticks are golden and bubbly.
Serving Suggestions
These Homemade Cheesy Garlic Breadsticks are best enjoyed with dipping sauces like marinara sauce or ranch. The combination of warm, cheesy breadsticks and the zesty flavors of the sauces is a match made in heaven.
